Snacking should be as mandatory as breakfast, says dietitian Rachel Beller, a nutritionist on The Biggest Loser. If you let yourself get too hungry between meals, you may end up consuming more calories overall. Why? Because famished people don't make smart decisions (oops, there goes the bread basket!). There are some guidelines, of course: Make sure your three meals a day are moderate, not massive. Think under 350 calories for breakfast, and 350 to 500 calories each for lunch and dinner. Then, if there are more than four hours between your breakfast and lunch, have a small mid-morning snack, around 100 calories. Your afternoon snack can be a little bigger: 150 to 175 calories if you're trying to lose weight, and up to 250 if you're not and it's your only snack of the day. Most important, your snacks should be as delicious as what you see here.
